579 Alves' ambition
The news that Yang Yang won the UEFA Player of the Season spread around the world overnight.
Long before the UEFA Congress, the world's major media outlets were already reporting on the significance of this event, as it will be the most important award before the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year award.
As the most important contenders for the two supreme awards this year, Yang Yang and Kaka will occupy a more advantageous position in the competition for the grand prize, because it represents the official recognition of UEFA.
Let's ask, even UEFA believes that Yang Yang is the best player in the Champions League last season, so what reason does FIFA have not to award Yang Yang the World Footballer?
The British media almost unanimously reported that Yang Yang deserved the award, and even believed that after winning the UEFA Player of the Season, the next step should be the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year.
"With Yang Yang's performance last season and the honors he has achieved, there is no reason to miss these two awards!"
But the Italian media quickly countered, arguing that UEFA's best players have always been awarded to members of the winning team, and that this year is just a continuation of the tradition of the past few years.
"Leaving aside the best player, Yang Yang won the best striker, Kaka won the best midfielder, both players have been officially recognized, and Yang Yang has more advantage only because he and Liverpool won the championship."
The British media quickly countered that the best player of the year 04 was not awarded to Ajax, who won the championship, but to Deco of the runner-up Porto, which is enough to prove that UEFA does not have such a tradition.
"Thirteen goals, nine assists, these two statistics in history, are the best results in recent years, no matter which one you choose, see who can be better than Yang Yang."
With Yang Yang's outstanding results and performance as the foundation, the British media is more confident and confident in the battle.
The Italian media quickly responded with a counterattack, saying that the data does not speak for everything, and Kaka's role on the court is better than that of Yang Yang, because he led AC Milan to the final alone.
As the most combative Sun newspaper in the United Kingdom, it also quickly fought back with a large version, thinking that Kaka did lead AC Milan to the final alone, but Yang Yang not only led Liverpool to the final alone, but also killed Kaka's AC Milan alone.
"Does Kaka play a big role on the pitch?"
"If you don't mention the goals and assists, then you can mention the dribbles, the passes and the number of fouls on the pitch, which should be enough to prove who is more dangerous on the pitch, right? And in addition to passing the ball and losing slightly to Kaka, whether it is passing or the number of violations, Yang Yang is far better than Kaka, doesn't this explain the problem? ”
"Even if it's not the data, it's the opponent, AC Milan has beaten Celtic, Bayern Munich and Manchester United all the way, but Liverpool has beaten Barcelona, Roma and Chelsea in the final, isn't the Red Army's gold content higher than AC Milan?"
"Kaka is indeed the best player in the game all the way, but Yang Yang is also the best player in every game, doesn't that prove Yang Yang's performance?"
"And don't forget, at the Athens Olympic Stadium, the best player of the match was Yang Yang, after AC Milan scored that controversial handball, it was Yang Yang's outstanding performance to help Liverpool regain the trophy, and what about Kaka at that time?"
Kaka was closely guarded by Mascherano in the Champions League final, and his performance was indeed not as good as Yang Yang's flash, which was easy to be used as evidence by the British media.
But the Italian media is now determined to support Kaka, and naturally cannot accept this statement from the British media.
As a result, the media of the two countries engaged in a war of words and had a lot of fun.
Fans in both countries are also fascinated, and newspaper sales are also rising.
……
Compared with the media in the UK and Italy, which are in full swing, the Spanish media is more still more pantothenic and a bit of a cold spectator, because in the past few years, Real Madrid has shown a decline.
And since Calderón came to power, under the clumsy operation of him and Mijatovic, as well as the greedy accumulation of money, the golden sign of the Galaxy Battleship is no longer glamorous, and even in the eyes of some appraisal agencies, the commercial value of Real Madrid has shrunk significantly.
Real Madrid fans are also full of doubts about the management of these two, even after winning a league title last season, Capello left the class this summer and Schuster replaced him.
Interestingly, Schuster was previously in charge of Getafe, which happened to be the team that was beaten by Messi by five players.
This suddenly made the media who supported Real Madrid a little unable to raise their heads in front of the media in Barcelona.
Not to mention Messi's anti-sky performance, just say that the team's defense is so loose that Messi has five people in a row, how bad does that have to be?
The Catalan media, on the other hand, is committed to supporting Messi.
After Ronaldinho has already shown a clear decline, everyone at Barcelona believes that Messi will be the team's hope for the future, especially after back-to-back braces in the second half of last season.
However, at the beginning of the season, Messi, like Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, has been slow to enter the form, and has not scored or assisted so far, resulting in one win and one draw in the first two rounds of the Barcelona league.
In the last round, Ronaldinho's form was clearly revived, scoring twice and providing an assist, of which his assist was given to Yaya Toure, who has just moved from Ajax this season, and is a former team-mate of Yang Yang.
……
While the media across Europe and around the world are embroiled in this dispute, Liverpool are preoccupied with preparing for the UEFA Super Cup clash with Sevilla.
…………
…………
On the evening of August 31, 20:45 a.m.
Twenty-four-year-old Brazilian right-back Daniel Alves stood inside the Stade Louis II in Monaco as he waited for the referee's kick-off whistle, but his eyes fell on his team-mates in front of him and onto the man in the far left of Liverpool's line-up.
Yang Yang!
In the past two or three years, Alves has heard many people talk about Yang Yang, he is the hottest young player in Europe, and even the most promising popular superstar who wins the World Footballer of the Year, everyone thinks that he will be the strongest star in Europe after Ronaldo.
Of course, he is still slightly inferior to Ronaldo, because the Brazilian superstar won the first World Footballer of the Year honor at the age of 20, and at this point, Yang Yang is no longer able to surpass him.
Although Brazilian, Daniel Alves has no intention of holding grudges against Ronaldo or Kaka, as he is not familiar with the two stars at all, and his emotions towards Yang Yang come from Chelsea.
Yang Yang had just beaten Chelsea in the Premier League not long ago.
In a way, Alves should be thankful to Yang Yang because after his brace to beat Chelsea, the Blues significantly stepped up their negotiations with Sevilla and they started to increase their prices.
Even at this point, Alves and his agent Suarez are pretty sure he'll be on a plane to London tomorrow, as Chelsea's negotiators told them.
Now, at this moment, there are more than three hours left before the transfer market closes, which is enough to complete a transfer.
This is also the norm in the European transfer market, because the more you get to the end, the less bargaining chips you have, and the higher the success rate.
However, Daniel Alves feels he should put in some performance to solidify Chelsea's confidence in him.
For example, tonight, in the case of counterpoint, kill Yang Yang!
This will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity to prove your strength.
And he also believes that Chelsea's scouts and managers must be watching this game closely, because they have to look at themselves, as long as they put on a better performance, as long as they can freeze Yang Yang and show strong enough, they will definitely be able to get Chelsea to pay more transfer fees for him.
Not only will he move to Chelsea for the big clubs, but he will also make a name for himself.
That's what Alves thinks and does.
……
In Sevilla's tactical system, although Daniel Alves plays as a right wing-back, his position and role on the field are not like traditional right wing-backs, but like a dragon on the right wing.
Not only that, but he is also the heart of Sevilla's attack.
It's not hard to see why Liverpool considered a right-wing-back like Daniel Alves a year ago when they wanted to strengthen their attack on the right wing.
Because of this, Daniel Alves was very active after the start of the game, frequently inserting on the right side.
In less than two minutes, he made a quick cut down the right flank, shook off fellow Brazilian Aurelio and crossed to the back post from the right, where Arbeloa cleared the ball but the ball didn't go wide.
Sevilla's Brazilian midfielder Renato quickly stepped in and fired a direct volley to hit the first shot of the game!
The whole attacking process was very fast, and at the same time very layered, and the Liverpool defense was a bit chaotic.
Thankfully, Renato's volley didn't hit the back of the net, but went just wide.
This is also the strategy that Sevilla have formulated before the game.
Due to Carragher's rib fracture and the absence due to injury, Liverpool discharged the combination of Hyypia and Daniel Agger in this game, and the veteran Hyypia recovered quickly and returned in time despite a fracture of the bridge of his nose.
Moreover, Liverpool is indeed understaffed in the central defender position, with only three regular central defenders.
After being taken by the opponent first, Liverpool did not panic and organized their defense steadily.
Sevilla tried to eat the opponent in one go, and began to create threats on both wings, especially Alves on the right, who was frequently inserted, looking like a right wing-back, more like a right winger than a right winger.
The Brazilian, too, is determined to prove himself.
Because there is not much time left for him to transfer.
